How to get sound AND video on the mac
Okay, I don't understand this at all... but it works. So here goes. I mentioned yesterday that a program called DivX Player will let you watch the movie, but not listen to the sound. Bluskale writes to say that you can get sound by selecting 'DivX Doctor' from the 'Movie' menu, and saving the resultant .mov file. This file will play using the QuickTime Player, with the following caveats:
- You keep DivX Player around
- You start the movie only from the beginning (the visuals continue to work if you jump around, but sound stops the minute you do)
I got all excited when I saw a .mov file playing... but tests with a second machine show that you still need DivX Player, and DivX Player needs WMP 6.3 - so putting the .mov up is hardly worth it. (If you want to do this for yourself, download the .avi, and run it through the doctor.) Wow - the lengths we go to for new footage! (Louis Wu 00:00:02 UTC)
